One of the tricky part is documentation. The PDF for an STM32 (something way smaller than a beaglebone or a raspberry) is 1700 pages long, it includes the 69 pages long description of a timer, but doesn't include any ARM core documentation.
RTFM is a nightmare, the time you look at another page for a related device, you have forgotten what you read previously.
- Kliment 10y agoThe STM32s have an odd documentation structure where you have a datasheet (showing pinouts and capabilities of a specific part or subfamily), a reference manual (showing the detailed structure and function of all peripherals, common to the part family) and a programming manual (documenting the core, common to all parts using that core). So in this case, you're looking at the wrong document.
- howerj 10y agoI think a lot of the larger devices do this, otherwise there would be a lot of repetition across the family.
